    Congrats!!! looks like the perfect place for your boys to walk out the back door and hunt after school. I can see you turning this place into a whitetail magnet.

    Just saw this thread... AWESOME-looking spot Jay!
    There ain't nothin' like being able to walk out your backdoor and start hunting. I sure do miss the one we use to own! Like Ty said, I also hope you have a GIANT living there! Best of luck to you bud - happy hunting :bow:

    Have you had a chance to scout this before? Know what caliber of bucks you got? I know there are decent bucks out by those Junior Blues! ;)

    I haven't done anything yet but walk the property lines. We should close on the property within the next couple of weeks unless something goes south... I'd say there is a pretty good chance of there being some bruisers around.

    We close on the property Friday which just so happens to be my birthday. :) I went out this afternoon and did a "pre-inspection". I crossed the creek and walked back up in the timber by the small pond. That area back in there has a lot of sign and is perfect. It has good standing timber with real thick stuff along with small pockets of meadows.

    Not sure at this point how I am ever going to get anything larger then a 4 wheeler in there unless the farmer on the backside will let me use his field access. The creek is pretty steep.

    I set 2 trail cameras. One on the pond dam and another back along the edge of the south row crop field where 3 access roads come together. I dumped a 5 gal bucket of corn on the ground. I'll check them this weekend and see what I get.

    Everything is really overgrown right now. It's going to take quiet a bit of work to whip that property into shape.
